I think this dvd is playing too dark on my pc. Is there any way to brighten it without messing with my monitor controls? I tried the nvidia tools, but it appears the dvd window is like immune to being brightened, only the surrounding areas are brightened. I'm using media player classic btw.

If you've got the nvidia icon down in the system tray, click on it and in the menu that pops up, select color correction. In the window that now appears, where it says "Apply color changes to:" select "Overlay". Now you can make color adjustments that affect only video playback, and not the normal desktop.

Likewise, when you make color corrections when "Desktop" is selected, videos are not affected by the changes.

Thanks, dude. It worked. Now, I have another issue. When I'm playing in full screen sometimes and then close media player classic out, it will leave my desktop all messed up like the taskbar is far off the bottom of the screen. I have to keep fixing it. Any ideas?
